Integrated Research Projects - NEUP - Nuclear Energy University Program Integrated Research Projects Integrated Research Projects (IRPs) fall under the CINR R&D Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and represent the program directed component of the NEUP program by providing research and development (R&D) solutions that are the most directly relevant to the near-term, significant needs of the NE R&D programs.
IRPs complement the other NEUP components, which includes the university-based NEUP R&D, university reactor and research equipment infrastructure upgrades, and the University Nuclear Leadership Program’s student fellowship and scholarship grants.
IRPs are significant three-year awards for projects that address specific research issues and capability gaps identified and defined by the NE R&D programs, and are intended to develop a capability within each specified area. These projects are multidisciplinary and require multi-institutional partners.
IRPs will comprise a highly-collaborative team, spanning multiple scientific, engineering, and, where appropriate, economics and public-policy disciplines. Proposing teams must have a designated lead university and at least one other university. Teams are encouraged to include multiple universities and non-university partners (e.g. industry/utility, national laboratory, international, and underrepresented groups).
Industry partners are strongly encouraged and may receive funding support from the project. International partners are equally encouraged on a non-government funding basis. This is a university-led program.
